The transit agency said it has finally reopened entrances that were closed during the pandemic. It also has 16 new trips added to its busiest lines.

This is a significant day in our recovery efforts.

More people began taking rides on weekends compared to weekdays, according to SF BART. But passengers are still low compared to pre-pandemic days in the city: "Weekend ridership is at 27% of what it use to be, weekdays is at 18%."

They will add even more trips to the Sunday schedule on August 30.
